In spite of all the spectacular news stories about advanced persistent threats and targeted hacks from nation-states, the most common security challenge facing enterprises today continues to be social engineering. Successful hackers understand that the user is the weakest link in the security chain. Email phishing campaigns have proven to be the path of least resistance to get unsuspecting individuals to download and install their malicious software. Getting users to identify phishing attacks and training them not to click on links in email messages is not a trivial task.

In this webinar, you’ll learn the strategies and techniques that social engineers are finding success with. You’ll also learn how to implement these techniques, to create real-world simulated phishing emails to test your employees and see how phish-prone they really are.

Key topics covered in this webinar:
- Latest phishing attacks strategies and techniques
- Some of the top-clicked phishing emails from Q3-2017
- How to use these tactics when creating simulated phishing emails to test your user

Cyber Security is on everybody’s minds these days. You can’t log in to your favorite web-based news site, it seems, without seeing a warning about ransomware, spear phishing, social engineering attacks or CEO fraud. Attackers have all the time in the world to create very targeted attacks, yet employees have seconds to decide if they will open an email, click on an attachment or even worse, install an “upgrade” supposedly sent by their IT department or software vendor.

Today’s 20/20 panel discussion webcast will focus what you can do to train not only your users, but also your management team about these threats and how they can defend against them.

Throwing money at a problem doesn’t make it go away. Social engineering methods and the ‘evil genius” cyber criminals behind the attacks are furiously innovating, keeping IT off-guard.

Attackers are moving their focus from attacking the hardened network perimeter to attacking your users. This has made Ransomware and CEO Fraud incidents skyrocket, costing billions of dollars in losses.

How do you keep up and what are the most effective methods for securing your organization to combat cybercrime? This webinar will cover the ransomware and CEO Fraud epidemics and proven methods of protecting your organization against these phishing-based attacks, like creating a “human firewall”.

We all have data - tons of data. We have data like personal family photos and critical enterprise databases. It’s a scary time for data. Whether it’s personal data or critical enterprise data - it’s being held hostage by evil attackers from around the world. Ransomware is running rampant and it’s our job to protect it. But how?

In this Ransomware Defense 101 webinar we’ll be joined by one of the most respected ransomware experts in the industry today. CISSP and veteran security expert Erich Kron of KnowBe4 will answer the most common ransomware defense questions, tell you what you need to know to protect your organization, like creating a “human firewall” as your last line of defense.

While reported numbers fluctuate from industry study to industry study, they all agree on one thing: cybercriminals are successfully and consistently exploiting human nature to accomplish their goals. Prudent security leaders know that security awareness and training is key to strengthening their ‘human firewall’ – but they often don’t know where to start.

Join security awareness expert Perry Carpenter, Chief Evangelist and Strategy Officer at KnowBe4 and former Gartner Research Analyst for this live webinar “Best Practices and Future Direction of Security Awareness Training”. We will discuss emerging industry trends and provide the actionable information you need to train your last line of defense, your employees.

Most major enterprise data breaches begin with an attempt to fool a single user on your network. Whether they are targeting top executives, financial decision makers, or IT people who maintain passwords and credentials, today’s cyberattackers often are going after specific individuals in your organization. And as the holiday shopping season begins, these attacks on individuals may become easier – and more frequent.

In this eye-opening webinar, top experts on phishing and social engineering will discuss the motives and methods that attackers use to execute these targeted “spearphishing” attacks. You’ll get insight on how the attackers choose their social engineering targets, the methods they use to find out about those individuals, and the exploits they execute to fool specific users into giving up sensitive information. You’ll also get recommendations on how to prevent this early reconnaissance, as well as the attacks themselves, and how to train your users to recognize an attack before it creates a compromise.

Ask a security expert what the most vulnerable cog in the security wheel is and they will tell you it is the user. A company with the most detailed policies and procedures and best-in-class security hardware and software is still vulnerable if a user decides to take an action potentially compromises data, such as copying a confidential file to a thumb drive to work on it at home, opening a spearphishing email and clicking on the attachment, or deciding to check out their favorite YouTube channel from a workstation attached to the corporate network.

This 20/20 webcast looks at necessity for on-going security awareness training, how it can be incorporated into the workday, and the kinds of user activities that can be changed through such training.

Your enterprise may have an IT security awareness program, but is it really working? Do your end users understand the threats posed by online attackers? Are you confident your users can spot a potential security threat – and that they will report it if they do?

In this webinar top speakers on social engineering and security awareness discuss how to increase IT Security for your enterprise.

Attend and you will:

- Understand how to raise consciousness about IT security across your enterprise
- Discover unique ways your organization can educate users on security threats and appropriate responses
- Learn to build effective programs that can enable employees to be aware and willing to report potential threats
- Go beyond basic classes to truly change the thinking in your organization so employees and executives become more aware of IT security

The FBI just issued a warning about a “dramatic” increase in CEO Email Scams. The Bureau estimates these scams have cost businesses more than $2.3 Billion in losses over the past three years. No matter how extensive your Security Awareness Training Program is, your company is vulnerable to these attacks. Employees are quick to act when a financial request comes from the CEO. What protocols do you have in place to make sure your team knows when an email is really coming from the C-Level? Join our panel to learn how to avoid falling victim to these phishing scams.

Stu Sjouwerman, CEO of KnowBe4, has seen first-hand the devastating impact of ransomware on healthcare entities. And he knows traditional defenses aren't enough to ward off attackers. What's needed is a whole new approach to user education.

Learn how to prepare against cyber attacks and keep operating when your systems are under siege. Cybercrime has gone pro over the last 5 years and attacks have become much more sophisticated and intense. The bad guys are now going after your employees. It’s happening right now. Don't become a victim.

Protecting your enterprise data is often referred to as a technology issue, but most cyber attacks begin by fooling a user into doing something, such as unknowingly downloading malware or giving up security credentials. This “social engineering” is the most common way that an online attacker will gain access to your business – and the hardest to defend against, because it exploits everyday human weaknesses, rather than technical vulnerabilities.

How do attackers fool your employees via email, Web, phone, and onsite? What are some of the latest methods they use to trick users and employees into breaking security policy? And most importantly, what can your organization do to keep its employees from being taken in? In this informative Dark Reading webcast, top experts on social engineering will answer these questions and many more. You’ll learn about current social engineering methods and the “human” threats posed by online and physical attackers. You’ll also get insight on how your organization can train and test its users and employees to recognize and turn away these social engineering exploits – before they compromise your business.
